Update 2: Great news. The part arrived and the engineer fitted it, and now we have piping hot water again.
Even greater news: I contacted BG to complain about the unacceptable delay over Christmas and they have agree to pay me the amount my engineer charged me (he was a registered Gas Safe engineer) less the excess I would have had to pay under my contract terms.

Right, other than putting on a pan of spaghetti later, that's all the kitchening done for today. My aim is to get to Christmas day with nothing to do but sort out a tray of roasties and plonk the joint in the oven.
Thank goodness we don't have a full-blown Polish "Wigilia" on Christmas Eve anymore. These days, I simply pick the best bits of all the various traditions and please myself. That way I can have the food that I like (in sensible quantities) and leave out the stuff that I'm not keen on. My abiding childhood memories of Christmas is of not having a roast dinner on Christmas Day because there was still so much left over from the night before. On some occasions, there would be enough to last till New Year. Sometimes I wonder if my father did it deliberately, so it would be his way only, and f*ck everyone else...

My son has come to stay at our house for Christmas. Two hours in and he's already started on our supply of beers.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

Aldi's online range of Christmas grog has just proved to be irresistible. Delivery tomorrow.

Ask about alternating between hot and ice cold water. Ten minutes in each tub, half hour in total.
It's one I got given to do when I snapped the ankle.
